Equipment

Materials

  • 1 ½ Cups Cottage Cheese The fatter it is, the creamier it'll be
  • ½ Cup Milk Look for high protein
  • 1 ½ Teaspoons Italian Seasoning
  • ½ Cup Parmesan Cheese Grated (Fresh Preferred)
  • ½ Teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 Pinch Salt

Instructions

  • Add all of your ingredients aside from your Butter, Garlic, Corn Starch, Pasta, and Protein into either a blender or food processor
  • Blend or process everything together until smooth
  • Turn a burner on low heat and add your Butter into a stovetop pan
  • Once it melts add in your Garlic and let that cook for a couple minutes
  • Add in your mix and Corn Starch
  • Keep everything moving as it heats up so that it heats up evenly (LOW and SLOW is key!)

Notes

*If your sauce is too thick or you want it thinner you can add in some more milk or higher protein bone broth.
